| the 11 should be enough power for what you need but the way i look at it is the bigger the better i used to have a tractor with 25x12.5 mud tires on it and it would do 30mph i never had a problem with lack of power and it has a briggs 11hp | |

| Is the 11hp a cast iron cylinder? I have an 11hp that I'm starting to mess with and it's an aluminum cylinder. So the twin might be a better choice just from a durability standpoint. The twins aren't easy on gas though. | |

| For power - go with the twin - plus is you wont need to rev the heck out of it if you get stuck either - i ran a 18HP twin on my mod murray - had tons of power for speed. As much as i had it running around, it didnt seem to use a whole lot of gas.
I ran a 10HP briggs on my agway when it was stock ( came with it) - it did okay for power ( when it ran right), just lacked traction ( turf tires) - im planning on using a 11HP briggs on it in its mod form , should be plenty for what riding ill do with it.
Another mod youll want is a gas pedal/hand throttle - itll give tons better throttle response then the stock throttle setup.
Stock tires will be okay for lite stuff, for more traction go with a AG tire or ATV tire . | |
